🪯 Description
A simple and traditional Punjabi Sarbloh Sikh Kara, handmade and finished in Sri Amritsar Sahib Ji, Punjab, the sacred city of Sri Harmandir Sahib / Darbar Sahib.
This J1 design has a clean, smooth profile with a traditional matt silver-style iron finish. Its slim approx. 5mm width and 4mm thickness make it suitable for everyday wear while retaining the traditional appearance associated with a Sikh Sarbloh Kada.
The Kara is one of the Five Kakaars / 5Ks of Sikh tradition and is worn as an article of faith and a reminder of discipline, righteous conduct and connection with the Guru.
Each Kara is individually manufactured and hand-finished. Small differences in shape, dimensions, surface finish and weight are therefore completely normal.
🔩 About Sarbloh Iron
Sarbloh means iron.
This product is not stainless steel, and genuine iron naturally behaves differently from stainless steel jewellery.
Sarbloh Kara may show:
- Small rust or oxidation marks
- Dark or black areas
- Minor scratches or scuffs
- Grinding or polishing marks
- Small joint/manufacturing marks
- Slight differences in roundness or shape
- Minor colour variation
- Batch-to-batch differences
These are normal characteristics of traditionally manufactured Sarbloh products and are not necessarily defects.
Because iron can naturally oxidise when exposed to water, perspiration, moisture or humidity, occasional cleaning and maintenance may be required.
📐 Size Guide – Please Measure Before Ordering
The size shown in the variation refers to the approximate internal diameter of the Kara, measured straight across the centre from inside edge to inside edge.
For the best sizing:
- Take a Kara that already fits comfortably.
- Measure its inside diameter, not the outside diameter.
- Measure straight across the widest central point.
- Select the closest available size.
Alternatively, make a fist and measure approximately from the middle of the first knuckle to the middle of the fourth knuckle as a general guide.
Important Size Tolerance
As these Karas are traditionally manufactured and hand-finished, please allow approximately:
±2mm size tolerance
A Kara listed as 6.5cm, for example, may measure slightly above or below the stated size depending on the individual piece and measuring equipment used.
🪯 Sikh Significance
The Kara / Kada – ਕੜਾ is one of the traditional Five Kakaars associated with Sikh identity.
Its continuous circular shape is commonly understood as a reminder of commitment, restraint, responsibility and the eternal nature of the Creator.
The simple Sarbloh Kara remains one of the most traditional styles worn by Sikhs worldwide.

❓ FAQs
What is this Kara made from?
It is made from traditional Sarbloh iron.
Is it stainless steel?
No. This is genuine iron and should not be confused with stainless steel.
Can Sarbloh develop rust?

This design has a smoother matt silver-style appearance rather than a highly polished mirror finish.
What size does the variation refer to?
The listed size is the approximate internal diameter of the Kara.
How much size variation should I expect?
Please allow approximately ±2mm due to traditional manufacture, hand finishing and differences between measuring tools.
Are all Karas exactly identical?
No. Each Kara is individually manufactured, so slight differences in shape, colour, surface marks and dimensions are expected.
Is it suitable for both men and women?
Yes. The J1 is a unisex design.
Where is it made?
It is made in Amritsar, Punjab, India.
